    Not that I'm aware of. I have a RKE and like it but it doesn't/can't monitor the big 3. You could spend alot for individual ones that monitor those 4 things.

    I am not sure there are any hobby oriented monitors for the big three. I think there are commercial ones that run in the thousands each.

    The only one I know of is a calcium probe, and it's stupid expensive and has to be re calibrated every 3rd day or so.
