It really shouldn't be necessary, but assuming by "reset", you mean just a goto zero command, you can do that whenever you want, and it can't hurt, so you might as well. If however, by "reset" you mean actually resetting the motor, this has nothing to do with the receiver, and if you do this, at least with the motor I have, you need to manually move the motor to the zero position, and verify that it is pointing to zero out at the dish, before doing the reset. But none of this has anything to do with the receiver, as there are no motor positions stored on the receiver. The only motor positions that are saved, ie the zero position and the 50 some DiseqC1.2 sat positions (that you may not be using with USALS) are saved on the motor, not on the receiver.
There is one other thing pertaining to this that I haven't yet figured out (mainly because I'm too lazy to test it), and that is that there is a diseqC1.2 resync command, which seems to reset the zero position when using diseqC1.2. What I don't know is if this command will also change the zero used by USALS. My guess is that it will, but I've never checked this out. If it does, and if there was any question about the motor being out of sync, then this might be a good thing to experiment with since you're back at factory conditions anyway. Not sure of the proper sequence, but I think I'd go to south sat with USALS, then define that position as a DiseqC1.2 position, then manually bump to fine tune, then do a resync (not all receivers seem to have the resync command, but all motors should). This *should* re-sync USALS too, but I'm not positive that it will work, so only do this if you're into experimentation.
