Where are you located? No possibility your agencies of interest migrated to another system the 125xlt can't track?

I suspect as the user is using a UBC125XLT then he is in the UK/EU and does not have the US WX (Weather) Service/Broadcasts.

Yes correct I’m from uk and have tested my antenna and it’s working fine with a altimeter

What has an altimeter got to do with your scanner reception. It is quite rare for a basic antenna to go "toes up" so I think your issue is elsewhere.

It could be that your UBC125XLT has failed but to check you need to tune to a 24 Hour frequency such as VOLMET.

Web search for your regional VOLMET service.

Oooops

Sorry, my error, VOLMET is on HF frequencies (Europe West 3413, 5505, 8957, 13264) so out of range of your scanner.

Doing an Airband search is your best bet depending on your location.
