The '.scanoo' file is probably in the same directory where you loaded
'gnuradio-companion' from. Do a search for it with:

sudo find / -name .scanoo

The aU errors occur when the audio block isn't getting a steady stream of
48k (default setting) samples per second. A small amount of samples are
lost when switching modulation and when spectrum sensing due to the 'm in
n' block.  To reduce this you can switch your CPU frequency scaling to
performance mode.  You can also try forcing the audio sample rate in the
audio sink block to be "int(audio_samp_rate*0.98)" which will make it
expect 2% less samples and therefore significantly reduce audio underruns.

Your screenshot shows that you have blocked out 2GHz and so it should be
locking on to the next strongest signal which is 150khz away from it.  This
is defined with the 'bin_floor' variable which is at the very bottom right
of the GRC flowgraph.

 The default center frequency of 127MHz is defined in the 'txt_center_freq'
variable which is two boxes to the right of the audio sink.  It does not
currently auto detect the frequency range of the daughterboard.  This is to
make it more compatible with other SDR devices such as the RTL-SDR / HackRF
which do not use the UHD.
