That should work, provided that the CAP box has a relay 
output that stays closed for the duration of the CAP message.

Alternatively, if one is available, a second EAS box can be used
to receive the CAP message, then whichever box is sending 
an alert can be fed to an audio switcher or through a relay to
get the alert on the air.  

Another way to do it would be to feed the second EAS box 
to one of the inputs of the first with the CAP converter 
feeding the second box and the second audio receiver
feeding the second EAS, too.  Then an alert via CAP or second 
receiver will trigger the second EAS box that will, in turn, trigger 
the first.

 Likely true.  If one were forced to use an interim solution, 
I'm thinking that the CAP decoder could operate an 
audio-controlled-relay, which, upon CAP alert reception, 
would briefly interrupt one of the tuner feeds.  This assumes 
the CAP feed is likely to be more important than one of the 
tuner outputs.  Unlike the tuners, the CAP audio is quiet 99.9999... 
percent of the time...  If one rounds-off the numbers, all three 
feeds are working simultaneously.  Comments?
