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?
