EQmod provides a better way of doing pec training, and this module is now actively being tested.

Pec is not normally necessary if you are autoguiding, most eq-6's can image satisfactorily when guided.
hope this helps

This is what I had found also so haven't bothered with PEC. I thought maybe someone had found a workaround.
I did try once autoguiding via ASCOM sending corrections to the synscan controller rather than using the autoguider port on the mount. This should be the same as manually correcting with the buttons but I wasn't able to fine tune the guiding enough and abandoned the process.
