I think even under the best conditions that's pretty much on or past the limit (according to Table 17.1 of the 18F452 manual) If you're wanting to just detect the presence of 50kHz rather than measure frequency, how about something like an LM567 or a similar notch filter to produce a there/not there signal for the PIC ? -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
